When I researched this, I was looking for a bit out of the way but I did not fully expect that even the paved access road might be challenging with steep grades and hairpin turns. In rainy weather rowing speeds were very low. The last 4 miles was not paved but the road was good quality. We enjoyed our stay and in better weather wou... more

Thought we’d check this place out after reading reviews. Looked like a nice peaceful spot in the woods, and with a toilet @ 8 bucks, we were sold. And it was a nice spot in the woods, with a nice clean no-flush toilet. Heads up – if you go here, be a really good driver, don’t look over the edge, pray that no one comes down while you’r... more

There is quite a challenging drive to the Tolkien Campground. You have to go up 4 miles of rutted, gravel road that is quite narrow. It was slow going, about 10-12 miles per hour most of the way. However, the spot is lovely. On the first night only one family was there for a few hours and then one tent camper came. On the second n... more

I'll start with the roads. I drive a 30ft trailer so this is from that perspective. If you're in a car or small camper, skip to the next paragraph. Once you turn off the 101, the road is super narrow and the turnouts are wrought with giant dips. Take your time. There is one extremely steep section with really tight switch backs, b... more

This is a great campground if you intend to do any mountain biking at the King Range National Conservation Area. First, the road is rough to get here, but if you're coming from Shelter Cove Road from the south (driving north), it's the first campground you'll hit. If you go past the campground, the road gets progressively worse. Betwee... more

We camped here because of the Paradise Royale Mountain Bike trails and bike park. It is an amazing little spot deep in The Lost Coast. The downside is that it's really hard to get there with a trailer/camper. The hwy in to Shelter Cove is steep (15-18%) and curvy. Then you have 4 miles of dirt that are also steep and narrow. The drive ... more
